Alligator's Ark of Tomorrow

She knew that the Liberian man had followed her into the land because he trusted her and believed that no matter what crisis they faced, she could lead them out of it.

However, she was not as powerful as they imagined, and there were many things she couldn't do.

"retreat!"

In a final moment of rationality, Serea ignored the plea for help from a teammate who trusted her.

She shouted in an almost screaming voice, "Everyone, retreat!"

No one stood up to question Serea's decision at this time because it was the right thing to do, the right thing to be cruel.

But we can't leave.

Three giant, jet-black wolves suddenly burst into the sandcastle, tearing apart the last line of defense. The agents' weapons and arrows fell on the wolves' rain-soaked fur, leaving not a single mark.

Each of the three jet-black giant wolves gave Seria a suffocating sense of power.

No!

Why did it turn out this way?

No!

This shouldn't be happening!

A voice in Serea’s mind was telling her that everything she was seeing was not real, but an illusion.

But another voice is saying, how could an illusion be so real? Real enough to reproduce the personality of every operator she knows so well?

She could only hold off one giant wolf, and then watched helplessly as the remaining two large wolves charged into the crowd, easily breaking through the agents' defenses and tearing them apart.

She said that she brought them into this land, and she would bring them back one by one, not one more and not one less.

But she couldn't do it!

Boom!

A figure covered in blood broke through the heavy rain and chopped down the giant wolf in front of her with an axe. She saw that the crocodile man had many wounds on his body, some of which even revealed the bone beneath the flesh.

But the crocodile man stood before her and said, "Leave this to me!"

……

In the end, Seria only found one surviving operator.

The severed legs bore ferocious bite marks; they were not cut off or severed, but rather bitten to pieces.

Serea carried Chris on her back with her hands bound by a ribbon, and moved forward.

Use your hands and your body to tear apart the monstrous beasts blocking your way.

However, there are too many of them.

"Director, please put me down."

Chris's weak voice came from behind.

No, I will take you to a safe place.

"I'll be a burden to you."

"Your weight is nothing to me!"

"But, Director, it will definitely be much faster if you go alone."

"Stop talking."

"director......"

"Chris, I command you to live!"

"...But, it hurts so much."

The sound of a girl sobbing softly came from behind.

"......director."

"I'm here!"

You must live!

The girl's voice grew weaker and weaker, until Serea could no longer hear it in the heavy rain.

"...Including my share, and everyone else's share, we must find a cure for osteopathy, and we must make Rhine Life and this land a better place."

puff~

Fragments of Originium pierced Seria's palm.

Without her shield, her equipment was shattered, and she had lost her ability to cast spells; she was just an ordinary Vay mortal.

Aside from being a bit stronger and more powerful.

Utterly useless.

However, there were no spellcasting tools.

Can't we just buy it back?

Once you become a patient with stomatitis, once you contract stomatitis.

She can then recast the spell and reuse calcification!

step!

Two steps!

With Chris on her back, Seraya could almost hear the sounds of Gard and the monsters colliding.

Even though Gard had already shielded them from the most dangerous enemy.

Yet she still lost so many companions and comrades-in-arms.

Is she too weak?

Is it because she hasn't tried hard enough?

Father, what should I do?

The Originium pierced her palm and began to spread. She had used the power of the staff to perform Originium Arts countless times, but now, she no longer needed the staff.

"Calcification!"

Layers of white matter covered Seraya's body as she clenched her fists and stepped forward.

The calamity beasts blocking Seria's path let out terrified howls. Their bodies should have been incredibly tough, but the next second, their bones groaned under the strain, and cracks appeared as the calcium-based skeletons wailed.

Before Seraya, all the calamity beasts prostrated themselves on their knees.

Just a moment ago they were incredibly rampant, but now they are as humble as ants.

A monster saw Seria passing by and tried to attack her.

However, without the support of its bones, its muscles were simply unable to extend its claws.

Even its prized claws were gradually reduced to dust as Seria calcified.

Finally, there is the skull that supports the brain.

The person behind me gradually grew cold, just like the cold rain falling from the sky that day.

"Almost there, almost there."

Serea moved forward mechanically, trying to find the "safe place" that Gard had mentioned.

Until she saw a grave.

A tomb of nightmares that has stood on this land for thousands of years.

My memory has returned to its starting point.

Serea remembered everything; everything she had just experienced was a dream.

A nightmare?

Seraya stared blankly at the sky, letting the rain soak her face.

No, this is not a dream!

This is the future!

……

Gard came into Seria's dream.

However, he didn't see anything, only a little girl, a young Vaivafan girl.

The young Vaivafan girl hugged her toy car and cried softly.

Gard stepped forward, trying his best to make his smile more amiable.

"Little one, what happened? Why are you crying here?"

The girl carefully picked up her toy car and placed it in front of Gard, her nose twitching.

"Toby, Toby, they bullied me!"

…….......

Chapter Sixty-Five: A Different Seria 2/45

For some reason, Gard felt that the little girl, Vaiva, in front of him was somewhat familiar. Considering that this was Seria's dream, Gard paused for a while before looking at the little girl and saying in disbelief.

"Seraphim!?"

Gard simply couldn't reconcile the image of the delicate, tearful little girl in the floral dress, clutching a toy car, with the future powerful woman who would be decisive and ruthless, seemingly devoid of any emotion in her eyes.

This isn't even a person!

Or is it that Seria became the way she is now because of her childhood experiences?

So why does Seraya dream about her childhood?

For Serea, what happened in her childhood is her nightmare.

Gald keenly sensed that something was wrong.

He could forcefully break Serea's nightmare, and he believed that with Serea's strength, she would absolutely not be controlled by nightmares.

However, upon seeing the small figure before him, Gard wavered.

If Serea wasn't actually as strong as he imagined, then his act of forcibly breaking free from the nightmare would surely leave a deep shadow in Serea's heart.

If it were someone else, Gard might not have made so many fuss.

But Serea, Gard is willing to waste a little more time.

He had come to understand that the flow of time in dreams was different from that in reality, just as thoughts could instantly transcend the limitations of time and space, recalling events that had occurred in the past and present.

In your dream, you feel that a long time has passed.

In reality, it may only be a fleeting moment.

"Who is Toby?"

Now that the decision has been made, Gard simply intervenes in Seria's dream.

It was just a dream anyway.

"It's them!"

Little Seria stretched out her finger and pointed behind Gard.

The previously blank world suddenly began to extend with streets, cars drove by, pedestrians came and went, and traffic flowed.

Following the direction Serea was pointing, Gard saw several little boys, all of whom, like Serea, had the distinctive horns of Vaivana on their heads.

"Sera?"

"Well, you actually called in help!"

"No one can help you!"

A few kids came running over with great bravado. Gard tilted his head, wondering where these kids got their courage from.

At eight or nine years old, and not even 1.4 meters tall, it was one thing for a few people to bully Serea when she was little, but to dare to lay a hand on him, an adult who was over two meters tall.

That's incredibly audacious!
